If obliterating the OP_Return cap is such a good idea with “so much broad consensus”, why were only 28 reviewers in favor (ACK) and 56 opposed (NACK)? This is a very controversial change with twice as many reviewers opposed than in favor. Core ignored the reviewers. Why?
@Dennis_Porter_ According to them, the NACKers are spamming their forum. How ironic!
@NEEDcreations Ironic indeed.
@BTCMSTR6040 That’s what over 17% of the network has decided.
@Dennis_Porter_ .@grok please translate
@Dennis_Porter_ Because they're cor(e)upt
@Dennis_Porter_ Always more entertaining than price action. -admin
@Dennis_Porter_ What were the quality of the ACK and NACK reviews, and reviewers? It's zero cost to make a GitHub account or several, and just leave a comment, so we can't just go by numbers - a hostile attacker could easily Sybil. It's not a vote anyway, it's for sharing technical objections.
@Dennis_Porter_ Steps for a normie to vote ACK/NACK on Github: 1) Open a profile on GitHub 2) Vote So everybody can vote, regardless of her/his contribution to debate nor to protocol code. Number of votes is not a great measure of quality of vote. Democracy (all votes are equal) is here a bug,
@Dennis_Porter_ clearly the 56 reviewers who opposed the changes are podcasters
@Dennis_Porter_ Interesting point
@Dennis_Porter_ Because they dont care.
@Dennis_Porter_ Because they’re not interested in consensus. They’re interested in centralized power. The same ideology that Bitcoin was created to war against in the first place.
@Dennis_Porter_ how many reNACKs?
@Dennis_Porter_ It's because my Concept ACK counts as 100 (my dad owns GitHub)
@Dennis_Porter_ Remember when controversial PRs were closed?
@Dennis_Porter_ because eff them.
@Dennis_Porter_ What if this is an attempt to cripple BTC as a payment system ? 🤷♂️ Core v30 is planned for Oct. So are the CBDC's in the EU ! By pumping the tx costs, BTC will be made unattractive for payments. Once you see it, you can't unsee it!
@Dennis_Porter_ Adam Back should have influence over all/any change
@Dennis_Porter_ My ACK was accidentally recorded as a NACK. (My fault). In your screenshot, could you please move my vote from the podcasters side to the side with the people who know what they are talking about? Thanks.
@Dennis_Porter_ When you say "Core ignored the reviewers", who in reality are we talking about? We need to name and shame these bad actors until they quit the project. At least with Knots, there's no surprise with it's governance: A benevolent dictator beats a corrupt oligarchy everyday 🤗
@Dennis_Porter_ Fork it and let the money win.
@Dennis_Porter_ Note that this is the PR that didn’t get merged (#32359). And for context, these are the people that I’ve seen do non-trivial work on the Bitcoin Core code base:
@Dennis_Porter_ Maybe because a NACK from a random without actually reviewing the code is worth 0?? (Same for ACKs)
@Dennis_Porter_ Exactly, if the consensus was so broad the numbers wouldn’t be this lopsided. Feels like a top-down push rather than a real community decision. @21_XBT raised similar questions about how Core handles dissent, what’s your take?
